Following on from earlier posts (particularly the one on personality vs looks), this graph shows the folly of marrying someone for their looks. The trophy wife/husband might look great for a decade or two, but as sure as God made apples, the looks will fade. Then, all you'll be left with is the personality, or lack of same. Sure, the inevitable can be delayed with cosmetic surgery, but too much of that and you end up as a grotesque caricature of your former self.
Personality, on the other hand, stays more or less constant through life. Barring any severe emotional trauma, if you marry a vivacious, positive, considerate person, that's what s/he will be until the day s/he dies.
I know which road I'd go down every time!

The curse of Dorian Gray!

The Dorian Gray in the title of this post is of course a reference to Oscar Wilde's book "The Picture of Dorian Gray".
This book concerns a man who is obsessed with his looks fading and wishes that a picture of him would fade in his place. He gets his wish, but at a cost to his soul.
